Based on just the share of people with 1 or more doses (a weaker threshold), at Canada's current pace we reach 50% by May, and 75% by June 2021.
80% of *adults only* is reached by June 12
Turning to individual provinces, here's how each province's vaccination rate compared to the national average. Blue is above-average. Red is below. Dotted line is Canadian average rate.
